A second person has died during the Sydney storms which have lashed the city and surrounding regions on Wednesday, delivering a month’s worth of rain in two hours.
On Wednesday afternoon a State Emergency Services volunteer collapsed and died while attending a job in the Illawarra.
“This is a tragic event and my deepest sympathies are with the man’s family and friends,” minister for emergency services Troy Grant said in a statement.
“My thoughts and prayers are also with the broader emergency services community,” he said.
Earlier on Wednesday another person died in a two-car collision in Thornleigh.
Ambulance paramedics were called to a two-car accident in heavy rain at Thornleigh on the city’s upper north shore at about 9am on Wednesday.
A male passenger in one of the vehicles died at the scene.
